Snake Bytes, 12/6: Hot stove warming nicely
Snake Bytes is about the Winter Meeting and the first ever MLB draft lottery tonight.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are interested in trading one of their outfielders. Alek Thomas is the most likely to be traded. Mike Hazen would not get into specific things that may involve free agents. He would only say that the team is looking for ways to improve their team. The team needs to become more right handed. It is not just chasing something to chase it.
Trea Turner and the Philadelphia Phillies agreed on an 11-year, $300 million contract Monday. Justin Verlander and New York Mets have agreed to a two-years, two million dollar deal. The first-ever MLB draft lottery takes place tonight.
The snake is 4.5 feet long. It is among the biggest rattlesnakes captured this year. The average rattler is 6 feet.
Elsa Storgärds, Christoffer Vedin, Paul Willers, Jesper Danielsson star in the movie "Shark". It's about a genetically engineered shark that attacks a group of friends on a camping trip. Storrs and Veddings are the only survivors. The movie is very much like a low-budget knock-off of "The VelociPastor". The acting is variable and the film is uninspiring. It is better in parts when Veedings is on screen. It runs barely an hour. "A Shark" is a remake of a film that came out six years ago.
